Research Ranks
Research rank faculty hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree. There are three categories of research ranks: associate research scientist, research scientist, and senior research scientist.

In such circumstances, an appropriate portion of the salary may be paid from a teaching budget; however, for research appointees who are already employed full-time, the total compensation cannot be increased by payment for teaching.
